Will Self sez: > Okay, everyone, I think we should have our own "Five Year Dream Car Pick. > 3. they had to drive it daily to work, to the 7-11, across the country, and > through michigan winters. Gee, can I still ride my bicycle to work? If I *have* to drive this car to work, that would make a big impact on my choice. (read, need good gas milage) Hmmm, has to be a new car eh? Hummer and Unimog are fun choices, I don't know if I could afford to run the beasts. That EuroVan Winnebago conversion looks nice and I could afford to take care of it. The only problem is the ground clearence, very little. I would probably pick a nice big 4WD pickup with some kind of camper conversion in the back, maybe one of those Dodge trucks with the turbo-diesel engine. There are campers for pickups that pop-up when you want to use them but stay folded down for better highway milage. (total cost, about $33,000) If'n we can choose a used vehicle, I would be sorely tempted to get a perfect early 60's 23 window deluxe microbus (guess I'm not too original ;-) I *do* like to travel however and this would make for rather slow trips to backpack in the Sierras and to go skiing up in Colorado!
